Dear Parents,From time to time I like to share thoughts with you on some research or information that I read and how those things apply to our students.

I noticed a quote from Google CEO, Sundar Pichai, who stated that 1/3 of the jobs in the year 2020 will require skills that are not common today.

What are these skills? The Center for Work and Ethical Development surveyed 1000 employers asking what traits they seek in their employees. The traits listed were attitude, education, specific skills, job experience, work ethic, and work history.

The top one of these skills in importance was work ethic. Second was attitude. These are not academic skills, but they are very important to our students.

As parents and teachers, we want to cooperate to cultivate work ethic and attitude in our students. I think part of the benefit of a small Christian school is that we can partner with parents on this. I hope you agree with me and will encourage your children to be persistent in their work both at school and around the house. Whether it's homework or feeding the pets, having regular responsibilities and following through is a life skill.Blessings on your parenting,​Tim MiesnerPrincipal

What Our FAMILIEs Are Saying

"Faith, character and values are of utmost importance in our home. Epiphany Lutheran School has provided invaluable teachings for my children in this area. The teachers have always provided positive, open communication and dialog so you truly feel like you are working together in "raising" your children. We love the family environment, culture and camaraderie the students have with each other. It is truly a blessing to be a part of this school community." Great Schools reviewer

"Awesome school! My son is in 8th grade and I have seen him grow socially and his work ethic is 100% improved. This class sizes are small which means greater 1-1 attention. I wish I would have sent him earlier. I highly recommend Epiphany!" Great Schools reviewer
